Blood DNA test may predict return of rare blood cancer
NCT ID NCT04893564
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking at whether pieces of tumor DNA found in the blood (called circulating tumor DNA) can help predict if Waldenström macroglobulinemia will come back after treatment. Researchers will collect blood and bone marrow samples from 90 patients after their first 6 months of therapy and follow them for up to 3 years. The goal is to see if the presence of this DNA is linked to a higher risk of relapse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients are at higher risk of their cancer returning, allowing for earlier intervention.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to any change in patient care, and results may not apply to all patients.
